CURTIS BAY.-The Baltimore Her.
aid today has its usual rehash of
Curtis Bay. The Herald evidently
has correspondent who when he
cannot find news makes it up. tits
mere bosh to tell about this matter
of purse raising. Gamblers gener-
ally know how to keep their business
to themselves, and men who receive
brides also know how to keep their
secrets. Va will bet big apple
that the Herald correspondent can
not trace his statement beyond one
irresponsible author, even if he has
that much authority. 1t looks well
in print, creates momentary sensa-
ton in some circles, and no one
thinks of it any more. The whole
statement is overdrawn, and is
doubtlessly due to great extent to
the vagaries of an over wrought i'm
agination. Inuendo don't count
here. We have heretofore said
enough in defense of our sehriff,
and the people of Anna Arundel
know him too well for him to need
defense. The subject gives the
Monday Herald little notoriety and
may succeed in helping the news
boys. Sheriff Sellman is never
driven or deferred by fear; but if
the Herald had not made such
noise about something might have
been done.

at last, unless perchance some may
90 down in the storms on old
oceans breast, as some go down
in the storms on the ocean
of life. Thus with the churches,
they may differ in non essentials,
but they all teach "Christ and Him
crucife,l." Therefore we ask why
let creeds interfere with our prayers.
We know that Christ has said:
.Wi.osoever cometh unto Nc | will
in no wise cast out" Therefore one
great creed without the forms of
churches is all that is needed. The
only creed needed is Christ; and like
the publican who dared not lift his
ewes, il we call out "God be merci-
full to me, a sinner" we will 60 away

argument) the sacred character of
the Bible, take it only as rule of
morality, and put it against any
thing that science offers, as a rule
of life, and howit looms way up above
it. Religion and the Bible offer
rich immortality. Science nothing,
aud yet there are many who feel Il
cannot pray" To these We CON-
mend Cora Matson's beautiful
lines:

PURCHASING POWER OF A Doll
LAR.-In discussing the ques ton OF
wages it is not so much what is paid
as what the wages will buy, and
while it is claimed that the Ameri-
can laborer is paid so much better
wages than the European, nothing
is said about the purchasing power
of the wages received. Take for
example the comparative cost of
the following articles In America
a suit of clothes that costs S12 can
be brought in England at $4.S6,
pair of boots worth S. here is
worth $1.22 there, a ton of coal
that costs So here will cost $3.50
there, hat worth SIPS here is
worth there "A, sugar that costs .06
here at .04 there, tea that costs so
here 80 there, potatoes at rs per
peck here IL there. Bacon an d
cheese cost about the same, or a lit
tie less in England than here while
fresh meats cost about 20 per cent.
more there. and most vegetables are
about the same, the other articles
of family use are much cheaper aud
so the purchasing power of q dollar
in Europe is about equal to that of
$3.50 here.
An American laborer who lives at
Buffalo, n. Y. and works there, and
an English laborer working at the
same place but living on the Cana
dian side of Niagara Falls workingfor
the same employer received the same
wages. Yet living exactly alike at
their wages Of 81 day-the one at
Buffalo saves nothing and the one
in Canada after paying his rail-
road fare save IS cents day. This
is not a hypothetical case, but .
true one. Our readers may from
these facts draw their own conclu s.
ions, as to how great the actual
difference in wages is between
the panper labor of Europe and the
icsll paid CD American labor.

The Victim Dead.

The negro, Geo. Treadwell. who was
found near Chase on Sunday afternoon
nearly dead, died ut Chase at o'clock
this morning, from injuries he received.
The Coroner was notified, and the re-
suit of his investigation will probably
be known tomorrow. There are two
theories advanced in the case, i. g.,
that he had been stealing watermelons,
and the owner of the patch had struck
him, and followed it up until the fellow
was left insensible.; the other is that
perhaps he. in company with some one
else, had been walking through the
country, from town to town, and thgt
the mans injuries were the result of
an alteration between them, perhaps
with the sole design of robbery In
view. The latter seems plausible, 40
the man did not have cent on his
person., when found.-Lyons Dsaseefal,
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1887-10-27
Matte VickerS.

Last nights entertainment at the
opera house was attended by good
audience, and we venture the asser-
ton that no person present ever at
tended a better entertainment than
that given by Miss Vickers in "Jac-
quine." Her every motion is poem
and her every word ajoke; her eve is
full of mischief and the snap of her
pretty fingers the signal for busrt of
laughter. All her acting was mag
nifcent, and she was well supported
by the entire company. If our opera
house can sustain a class of artists
equal to the Matte Vickers company,
Great Bend will certainly be blessed
with high order of entertainment is.

creditable things the young aspirants
for the place had to say of themselves,
but finally he struck letter that really
rested him. 1t was written on a very

She Had High Hopes.

"You never drink or smoke, do you,
George dear?" she said. "You know
| could never marry man who drinks
or smokes"
George in broken hearted tone of
voice admitted that he did smoke
and drink little and turned to GO.
But pair of white 27-year-olc arms
were around his neck in a moment.
"Never mind George" said the girl,
" perhaps my wifely influence will in
duce you to give them up."-K. g..

rha Ca1iforn1a Craze.

Between San Diego and Sacramento
about S45, OOO, 900 in deferred payments
ON real estate will become due in No
vember and December. 1t is expected
that there will be, not dull thud, but
loud crack.-NewtOn Republican,.
The California real estate boom
long ago passed the bounds of wild
speculation, and became stark, raving
idiocy. When an American citizen
buys what are called ''town lots" loca-
ted on the sandy desert fifteen or TWEEN
ty miles from a town of fifteen OF TWEEN
ty thousand inhabitants, and pays as
high as 5000, $500 and $3.50 per front
foot for such ''lots,'' he is not a real
estate speculator''- is either luna
tic OF an idiot, and ought to be straight
way locked up, by his relatives, in an
Asylum.
There have been great many windy,
gauzy bubbles in this country, during
the past few years, but the windiest,
gauziest bubble the country has ever
known is.the California real estate bub-
BILE. 1t has absolutely no basis except
climate. That is, they are selling
land that produces nothing-in coun-
try utterly destitute of commercial or
manufacturing resources, because of
the air that is above it! And thous-
ands of fools and lunatics are fiocking
there, and buying this land, at the most
eXtraviganJ figures.
This sort of folly is enough to dis
hearten every American who wishes
his country well. For if American
citizens can be humbugged SO easily,
and induced to part with their hard
earned money so foolishly, can they not
be humbugged by any possible hum
bug? Don't they, intact enjoy being
cheated, and fooled. and humbugged.-
Atchison Champion.
